Hi everyone! I was wondering what the worst packaging materials or methods you have ever seen are? I recently had my worst experience with a terrible packaging technique I have seen. I purchased a cue and only received an empty shipping tube because the seller tried to use staples to secure the plastic end caps to the cardboard. He did not use any tape, The end that the cue fell out of the cap was gone and you can see that none of the staples even went into the cardboard since they were too lightweight for this (there other end still had staples in it so I could see they were lightweight and short staples). On the other end of the tube only one and a half of the staples made it into the cardboard and none of them folded over to secure it to the tube. This is because the staples were not long enough. The tube the guy shipped it in was solid quality so he didn't go wrong there, just his securing everything together.....always use tape. Bad part is after corresponding with the guy about this is that it has happened before but he always blames the buyers as being scammers so he probably will not be changing his technique. Luckily for me it was an inexpensive cue so I'm not upset about it being lost, just kind of frustrated the guy doesn't realize his way is not very secure. So let us hear your worst shipping container or packaging technique stories.
